Didn't really progress from first start when beaten 7L at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month. Given a short break and this extra furlong should help but more needed all the same.
Dutch Art colt, cost 40,000 gns as a yearling. Shaped with promise on debut at York (6f, good to firm) when a staying on third last month. Should come on for that and that makes him a major player here.
Took a backwards step on second start at Ripon when finishing last of eight. Never a great worry with this yard in they throw in the odd bad performance and showed ability on debut. Could bounce back.
Price rose from £8,500 as a foal to 30,000 gns as a yearling. Mayson colt who's dam was a 6f winner. Likely type on paper for a powerful yard who can get one ready first time.
Dutch Art colt that cost 70,000 gns as a yearling. 2nd foal. Dam was unplaced over 1m & 1m2f. Half-sister to Group 3 winners Evasive and Autocratic. Granddaughter of French 1,000 guineas and Oaks winner East Of The Moon. Yards juveniles going well
Orientor filly. Third foal. Dam was a winner over 6f & 7f and related to several other winners. Well worth a market check on debut.

Newcomers Baronial Pride and Constant are very much of interest on paper, especialy the latter named who's yards juveniles have really kicked into life the past few weeks. Preference though is for the experience of SENSE OF BELONGING to show having shaped so well on debut at York. This track should suit and he can improve to win on his second start.
